Reduce the Risk: Bird Flu

Dear Residents,
 

The New Jersey Division of Fish & Wildlife is actively monitoring avian influenza (H5N1) in wild birds. H5N1 mostly spreads among birds but can also infect humans and pets.

Click HERE (or see the attached graphic below) for a copy of the State of New Jersey’s recommendations for protecting yourself and your pets from the risk of H5N1.

If you see sick or dead birds, particularly groups of 5 or more, please report them to New Jersey DEP Fish & Wildlife at the following link: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/749040214c974bb88c89c58483a51ab8

If you are reporting sick or dead domestic poultry, please call the New Jersey Department of Agriculture Division of Animal Health at 609-671-6400.

For more information about H5N1, please visit nj.gov/H5N1
